FVWM: Newbie question - getting started with fvwm

I have successfully installed XDarwin's rootless version on top of
Xfree86 on my Mac running OS X v. 10.1, and I have also installed Fink
to help me with future installations. I would like to try out fvwm, and
I think (!) I have installed it.

When I type fvwm2 at a prompt in a window of XDarwin, I get:

[FVWM][CatchRedirectError]: <<ERROR>> another WM is running

I suppose this means 1) I did install fvwm, and 2) I need to find a way
to have it run instead of the default window manager.

How should I proceed? Was it a waste of time to install XDarwin (is it
the window manager I'm NOT going to use?

Thanks in advance for any assistance; this is all new to me!
